Prompt and Effective Urgent Care for Skin Rashes

A skin rash is a condition causing itchy, inflamed, and red skin that may or may not be painful. Some causes include stress, weather changes, allergies, and infections. Though skin rashes are common and often acute in nature, they can signal underlying chronic issues, like eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, and other autoimmune conditions. That’s why it is important to get medical assistance for skin rashes for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Common Types of Rashes We Can Care For

At FCCMG, we can evaluate any rash. During the winter months, rashes are commonly caused by the following:

Atopic Dermatitis- Shows up on the face, arms, and behind the knees. It can be itchy with spotty bleeding and usually often occurs with flares of asthma and hay fever
Contact Dermatitis- It occurs anywhere on the skin exposed to irritants or allergens, especially with excessive hand washing and hand sanitizer gel use
Intertrigo- An inflammation of skin folds common in areas where sweat accumulates
Ringworm- A contagious fungal infection with a ring-like red rash with a clear center

In Babies and Children

Rashes can include

Erythema toxicum - flat, red patches or small bumps that start on the face and spread to the rest of the body
Milia - a condition with blocked skin pores that is neither itchy nor contagious
Diaper rash - skin inflammation around the diaper area
Baby acne - pimples on the cheeks and nose that appear within the first three months of a baby’s life
Fifths Disease - aka “slapped cheek syndrome,” a viral infection that causes a bright red rash on both cheeks

While most rashes are harmless, a rash that is persistent and accompanied by fever, swollen neck glands, and cold symptoms is a cause for concern and should be evaluated promptly.
